Following "man NetworkManager" /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ hooks creation. I made a rough (read: suboptimal) hook to make NetworkManager to restart netmount service every time a new network connection is made.
Of course there's a lot of room for improvements because the attached script is a  WORKSFORME one.
Lazy NetworkManager users will be happy to see some better integration by the way (with better > almost nothing).

Just place the attached file into that dir and restart NetworkManager. In "sabayon" overlay there's a patched networkmanager version containing that "fix".

Reproducible: Always

new NetworkManager nfs script

After some testing, I realized that the currently attached script causes issues when nfs shares are not available and suspend-to-ram requests apparently because socket used by nfs is blocking (and kernel complains about it aborting STR).
So I made a (probably) even more rough version of it which works independently from netmount.

Comments? Rants?

why exactly do you want netmount restarted when reconnecting ?  sounds like a terrible idea to me.  i move between WAPs and wired systems and dont need to restart netmount when i'm on the same LAN.  all my NFS/CIFS mounts work fine.

obviously moving between LANs wouldnt work, but neither would restarting the init.d script.

It works pretty well here when moving between different LANs. If you have a better solution to deal with NFS blocking sockets, just write it here.
Fact is: we have a problem that could lead user application to dead lock.

This should be fixed in latest 0.9.x versions in the tree
